Heart-healthy oats and fiber-rich cranberries make a deliciously tart winter pairing. Full of fiber and antioxidants, these cookies are the perfect blend of mild sweetness from the dried fruit and spiciness from the ginger and cinnamon. And since the recipe doesn’t include eggs, these cookies are vegan-friendly.
